Application filed February 2, 1905. Serial No. 243,806.

To (rZZ whom "(It may concern:

Be it knownthat I, LORENZ SoHENnT, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of WVisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Confectioners Work-Tables; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention relates to confectioners work-tables and it consists in certain peculiarities of construction and combination of parts, as will be fully set forth hereinafter in connection with the accompanying drawings, and subsequently claimed.

In the said drawings, Figure 1 is a sectional view of a work-table embodying my said invention, together with a view in elevation illustrating the preferred method of hot-water circulation employed in connection with said work-table. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view taken on the line 2 2 of Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a detail view in elevation. Fig. 4 is an under side plan view, and Fig. 5 a top plan view, of the chocolate-pan forming a part of my said invention.

Referring by numerals to the said drawings, 1 designates a boiler or water heater, and 2 an overflow-tank, connected with said boiler or heater, while 3 3 4 4 5 6 indicate the pipes of the circulating system.

7 designates the slab of a work-table, beneath which is a heating-space 8, through the length of which the pipes 3 3 4 4 extend, so as to make this space 8 a hot-air chamber, said slab being formed with openings (shown at 9) for the reception of the chocolate-pans 10, which proj ect down into the heating-space 8, so that the contents of these pans may be kept hot. These pans have shallow upper side extensions 11 11 with double bottoms, and the lower bottoms 12 12 have outer openings 13 13 and dampers 14 14, which can be turned as desired, so as to regulate the size of the passage into the space above the said lower bottoms 12, so as to control the flow of hot air from the heating-space 8 thereto, and thus keep the said extensions 11 of the proper temperature. The confections are molded into shape and then coated with the hot chocolate mixture dipped up from the pans 10- onto the warm extensions 12 thereof. There may be as many of the chocolate-pans as desired. but I have onlyshown one, the others being exactly like this one in all respects at intervals of the length of the worl -table slab 7 above the pipes 3 4 in the hot-air chamber 8 beneath. rail.

If more convenient in any instance, the heating-pipes in the space 8 may form art of a steam-heating system, instead of a lotwater circulating system; but the system just as shown has been found to give very satisfactory results.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Let ters Patent, is

A work-table provided with a working-slab and a heating-space therebelow, said slab being formedwith an opening, in combination with a chocolate- )an provided with extensions formed witi dampercontrolled airflues, said pan adapted to depend through said opening into said space, and means for heating the air in said space.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand, at Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin, in the presence of two witnesses.

LORENZ SOIIENDT.
